The martial arts suspense love masterpiece created by Pony Pentium Pictures and Hong Kong Media Asia recently exposed a "family photo", but the special thing about this photo is that it includes the six main creators of John Woo, Zhang Jiazhen, Su Zhaobin, Dong Wei, Wada Huimei, and Huang Yongheng in the cast of "Sword Rain". This is an unprecedented innovation in mainland movies. The main creators behind the scenes came to the stage, and six masters with international value joined forces for "Sword Rain". The momentum of the movie "Sword Rain" can be described as huge.
If the seven weapons in Gu Long’s pen are really martial arts, then the combination of the six creators of "Sword Rain" just gives these seven weapons a new metaphor.
John Woo, Zhang Jiazhen, Overlord Spear, Longevity Sword
It is the first time that John Woo and Zhang Jiazhen have joined forces to engage in martial arts. Needless to say, the tacit understanding of this old partner who has cooperated for many years. In the past 40 years of cooperation, they have handed over classic blockbusters with different styles, such as "Face Changing" and "Red Cliff". This collaboration with "Sword Rain" is a bold attempt at a new theme. And Woo’s inner martial arts feelings have never stopped from the beginning, and this time it has finally been realized. Woo’s experience and stability are like a rigid overlord gun. Watch Woo extend his violent aesthetics to a thousand years ago; Zhang Jiazhen’s humility and low-key are like the sword of longevity. Watch Zhang Jiazhen market China’s chivalrous culture to the world. "Sword Rain" will challenge the new height of Chinese cinema.
Su Zhaobin, Huang Yongheng, affectionate ring, parting hook
Whoever can restrain Su Zhaobin’s thinking is equivalent to controlling the Monkey King in China. Su Zhaobin, who was trained in science and technology, with a low-key sentimental ring, made his debut with a film that shocked the Golden Horse Award. Since then, "Tricks", his jumping thinking and eclectic narrative methods have often made up unexpected but reasonable stories, bringing the film to a new four-dimensional space.
Huang Yongheng, a director of photography who is also known as a genius, has a parting hook. He has won numerous awards and accolades in movies for several years since he began assisting John Woo in "Heroes 1 and 2". But this is the first time he has accepted the challenge of Su Zhaobin’s jumping story. If Su Zhaobin’s story is flawlessly presented in the picture, it will be a new breakthrough for Huang Yongheng.
Dong Wei, Hetian Huimei, Jasper Knife, Peacock Plume
With a stable John Woo, it is equivalent to a strong foundation in film technology; with Zhang Jiazhen, it is equivalent to a broad market space; Su Zhaobin and Huang Yongheng are challenging new fields in thinking and vision. And the two masters who turned this tragic film into a soft beauty in the fight, Dong Wei and Tian Huimei, became the last weapon of this film. Dong Wei has a beautiful jasper knife, and he is one of the few best martial arts fingers in the Chinese film industry. From the early years, "The True Story of Ah Fei" to the mid-term, "Hero", to the recent "Mago" and "October Siege", he can turn action scenes into flowing water, and make sparring into dance-like beauty.
The last costume designer, Heimei Wada, was the only woman among the six main creators, and it was she who made the martial arts blockbuster "Sword Rain" more tender. Back then, she won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design for her film with Akira Kurosawa, and then she moved to the Chinese film market. "The White-haired Witch" won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design. She has peacock plumes, which are beautiful and attractive enough, and of course can also impress the hearts of her opponents.
The six main creators are all on their own, and it is difficult for such a strong production team not to produce classic works. When asked why they came to the cast of "Sword Rain", everyone said half-jokingly, "I heard that John Woo is going to make a martial arts film, but he has not done it before, so we are also here to cheer." It is understood that the release schedule of "Sword Rain" is initially scheduled for September 28, when this visual feast carefully crafted by Woo and other six masters will be presented to audiences around the world.
